Reasons to Love Hotel Ami: A Sustainable Stay in Paris
In a world where “eco-certified” has become a buzzword, Hotel Ami in Paris stands out by genuinely committing to sustainable practices. I stumbled upon this boutique hotel during a last-minute search for accommodations in the city, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the serendipity. From its thoughtful amenities to its charming ambiance, there are countless reasons to fall in love with Hotel Ami.
Eco-Friendly Amenities That Make a Difference
One of the first things I noticed at Hotel Ami was the complimentary glass water bottles provided at check-in, alongside a convenient refill station in the lobby. It’s such a simple yet impactful gesture—making clean, filtered water accessible without plastic waste.
The hotel’s boutique size further reinforces its commitment to a minimal carbon footprint, with fewer rooms and a cozier, more intimate atmosphere compared to larger establishments.

Locally Sourced Delights
Every morning, guests are treated to a local, organic breakfast featuring fresh-baked goods and wholesome ingredients. Sitting in the beautifully designed lobby with a warm croissant, a glass of wine, or even a slice of cake became my favorite part of the day. There’s something about journaling in such a thoughtfully curated space that brings a sense of peace and connection.
For coffee enthusiasts, Hotel Ami offers 24/7 access to espresso and coffee, which was a lifesaver for me during an early 3 a.m. airport departure!

Designed for Comfort and Community
The rooms at Hotel Ami are a testament to minimalist luxury—beautifully designed, comfortable, and immaculately clean. Every corner of the hotel, from the inviting patio to the charming exterior, feels carefully considered and aesthetically pleasing.
The staff deserves a special mention for their kindness and professionalism. As someone still navigating the French language, I deeply appreciated their patience and friendly approach, which made my stay all the more enjoyable.

A Sustainable Neighborhood
The hotel’s location adds to its allure. Just a few doors down, you’ll find Day by Day, a bulk store offering everything you need for a sustainable shopping spree. This shop is a treasure for anyone looking to reduce waste while traveling. I loved creating my own trail mix from their selection of nuts and dried fruits, perfect for an afternoon snack while exploring Paris.
The Slow Travel Connection
Hotel Ami embodies the principles of slow travel—savoring moments, connecting with the local culture, and making mindful choices. Staying here reminded me of the value of living and traveling more intentionally. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet coffee in the lobby or shopping sustainably next door, every experience feels meaningful.
